Morphogen- Mutations in Motion

This project invites viewers into a magnified microbial world—one where single cells form entire organisms and every mutation ripples outward. Interaction unfolds through an endless game, a simulation with no resolution, mirroring the inescapable loops of our current reality. In this world, organisms are launched rapidly and without pause, mimicking the unchecked production and escalation we see today. The game reflects a system where growth is constant, outcomes are unpredictable, and each move alters the ecosystem. It explores how life affects its environment, how events shape evolution, and how escape from such cycles remains elusive.
